Physico-chemical characteristics of pectin from mango peels

With the increase in production of processed fruit products, the amount of fruit wastes generated is increasing enormously. Large amount of these wastes poses the problem of disposal without causing environmental pollution. A valuable byproduct that can be obtained from fruit wastes is pectin. Pecti...
